Question:

273 Deputy Charlie O’Connor asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will liaise with the Health Service Executive to ensure the immediate appointment of a suicide prevention nurse at Tallaght hospital, Dublin 24; her views on the fact that there has been a long-term commitment to provide for such a person; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Health and Children (Deputy Mary Harney)

I wish to advise the Deputy that due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the information requested. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.
